A level crossing predictor or alarm system with prediction horizon k is said to be optimal if it, at time t detects that an upcrossing will occur at time t + k, with a certain high probability and simultaneously gives a minimum number of false alarms. For a Gaussian stationary process, the optimal level crossing predictor can be explicitly specified in terms of the predicted value of the process i

Background: Colour differences in photographs can be enhanced using a digital image-processing technique called LYYN. Objective: To investigate colour changes in the histamine wheal after skin prick tests (SPTs). Methods: Histamine SPTs were performed on the forearm of six medical students, and the reactions of the skin were photographed every 2 min for 30 min. Colour differences in the photograph

This study investigates the cost-benefit analyses (CBA) performed on the proposed tramway projects in three Swedish municipalities, Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg. The purpose is to determine the feasibility of these analyses and their adherence to economic theory as well as to the guidelines and recommendations provided for CBA by the Swedish Transport Administration. The study shows that the adher

Vart tar läkemedlet tar vägen? Genom att märka potentiella cancerläkemedel med en radioaktiv isotop är det möjligt att bestämma vad i kroppen läkemedlet befinner sig. Proteiner har en stor diversitet av funktioner i kroppen och är essentiella för människans överlevnad, både som byggnadsmaterial och katalysatorer för kemiska reaktioner, men också som regulatorer för olika funktioner i kroppen.

Building the European identity and strengthening the concept of European citizenship is a task that can be achieved through various ways. One of the most powerful tools is represented by the system of education. Since the inception of the Community action programmes in this field, pupils, students and teachers take part actively in a new form of socialisation at the European level. Realised in th

The proto-oncogene SKI is highly expressed in human myeloid leukemia and also in murine hematopoietic stem cells. However, its operative relevance in these cells remains elusive. We have over-expressed SKI to define its intrinsic role in hematopoiesis and myeloid neoplasms, which resulted in a robust competitive advantage upon transplantation, a complete dominance of the stem and progenitor compar

This paper examines data from English, Swedish and German in order to find a theoretical distribution that describes the observed relation between word length and frequency. In Swedish and English, most word tokens consist of three letters only, while shorter or longer words occur less frequently. We found that the equation with the general form fexp = a * Lb * cL (a variant of the so-called gamma

This research explores the extent of feminism and nationalism in peacetime Serbia and also the correlation between. Theories suggest these two systems of thought to be incompatible with each other, even exclusive. If someone is in fact a supporter of nationalist ideas, it is unlikely for this person to also have feminist sympathies. Insights obtained by reviewing and analyzing existing national da

The present study investigates the importance of the male characters in four short stories written by women. Said stories are: “La culpa es de los Tlaxcaltecas” by Elena Garro, “Lección de cocina” and “Cabecita blanca” by Rosario Castellanos and “La muñeca menor” de Rosario Ferré. The aim of the study is to break the prevailing trend of analyzing this type of literature from a perspective where fo
